Optical system for the supervision of the operation of a induction motor

Abstract

In this work we present an optical system for the supervision of the operation of an induction motor. We used a Cyclic interferometer for the measurement of the vibrations produced by the motor motion and obtain a frequency spectrum via a Fourier transform of the signal. According to the spectrum, we can know the operation conditions of the induction motor. The optical system consists of a Cyclic Interferometer, a data acquisition board and virtual instrument.
